Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have a fifteen gallon tank and I was going to get small jade tree frogs for it. I need to know what animals (mainly small lizards) that I could mix with it that would not be too territorial. I was looking at the Mediterranean House Geckos, but I am not sure of their agressiveness. I also know that anoles can be mixed but I was looking for something more interesting. The lizard does not need to be aborial, but must like moist areas such as wet moss. Once again remember that the tank is only fifteen gallons so I cannot get big lizards over 5 inches. Thank you for your help! If you can give me any other ideas, tips, or websites to aid me in my tank setup it will be greatly appreciated!

It isn't advisable to mix species. Especially amphibians and reptiles. Not only do you have to be concerned with territory but also, stress, parasites and husbandry. Reptiles require mich higher heat than frogs, the food size is often different sizes as well. Not to mention that a 15 gallon is only enough room for one MAYBE 2 frogs and that's only if they are small frogs.

Jade Tree Frog (Rhacophorus dulitensis)

I can't really find much information on the husbandry

Anoles are very territorial and most (including any you'd have access to) are fairly, if not very, aggressive. So, they're out of the question.

Also, while house geckos are usually much more timid, they have very different requirements than most treefrogs and are usually wild caught which means they almost definitely carry many parasites.

A 15-gallon is not large enough to house even one frog like the one Heather (EllasMommie) posted a pic of from what it looks like, so I think even that is out of the question in that tank... although I'm not sure on that because I don't know the size or activity level of that species.

Why do you want to mix American lizards with non-American frogs? Why would you want to put any lizard with a frog like that? I really don't see a point, but I'd like to try to understand...

I just wanted to add that when I said "small" I meant a frog that wouldn't get larger then 2 inches. A 15 gallon tank would be fine for a couple reed frogs or something little like that.
